Ransomware, for those who don\u2019t know, is a type of malware that steals or encrypts a victim&#8217;s data and will not return or decrypt it unless the victim pays &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/pubg-malware-file-unlock\/\">or plays <em>PUBG<\/em> in one strange instance from 2018<\/a>. The added threat is often that this stolen data will be leaked to the public if demands are not met, which is what Egregor is apparently threatening with Ubisoft\u2019s <em>Watch Dogs: Legion<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"related-single\"><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/watch-dogs-legion-trailers\/\">Watch Every Watch Dogs Legion Trailer Revealed So Far<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Egregor claims to have the source code to <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/tag\/watch-dogs-legion\/\"><em>Watch Dogs: Legion<\/em><\/a>. Source code is the code for a game in readable human language, which is compiled into machine code\u00a0and can then be sold to consumers. Leaking the source code to a game would be akin to releasing the recipe for baking\u00a0bread as opposed to releasing\u00a0the whole loaf. Source code is typically confidential, and Egregor leaking <em>Watch Dogs: Legions\u2019<\/em>\u00a0code could lead to other games copying <em>Watch Dogs,<\/em> or allow more in-depth hacking and modding than normally possible.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/demonslay335\/status\/1307056098596335628?s=20\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes source code is intentionally released, like when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegamer.com\/command-conquered-remastered-source-code-release\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">EA released the source code for two <em>Command and Conquer<\/em> games<\/a>\u00a0to aid fans and modders, but that is often long after the game in question has been released. Based on what Egregor has shown so far, it is hard to tell if the group does indeed have all of the source code to <em>Watch Dogs: Legion<\/em>. The ransomware group also claims to have data from Crytek, including resources used to develop titles like <em>Arena of Fate <\/em>and <em>Warface.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A recent example of leaked source code is the massive amount of data dumped from Nintendo\u2019s private servers this year, which included <a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/nintendo-wii-leak\/\">the source code for the Nintendo Wii<\/a>.
